Alden, John (C.1599–1687), a Mayflower Pilgrim who held various important colonial positions, was a friend of Miles Standish, with whom he founded Duxbury. He married Priscilla Mullens (or Molines) c.1621, but Longfellow's The Courtship of Miles Standish is based on a legend that arose in the 19th century. He also figures in novels by Jane G. Austin.
